Pre-discovery Activity of New Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov Beyond 5 AU
Quanzhi Ye, Michael S. P. Kelley, Bryce T. Bolin +15
Comet 2I/Borisov, the first unambiguous interstellar comet ever found, was discovered in August 2019 at au from the Sun on its inbound leg. No pre-discovery detection beyon…
The Broad-lined Ic Supernova ZTF18aaqjovh (SN 2018bvw): An Optically-discovered Engine-driven Supernova Candidate with Luminous Radio Emission
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Alessandra Corsi, S. Bradley Cenko +23
We present ZTF18aaqjovh (SN 2018bvw), a high-velocity ("broad-lined") stripped-envelope (Type Ic) supernova (Ic-BL SN) discovered in the Zwicky Transient Facility one-day cadence s…
Comet 240P/NEAT is Stirring
Michael S. P. Kelley, Dennis Bodewits, Quanzhi Ye +13
Comets are primitive objects that formed in the protoplanetary disk, and have been largely preserved over the history of the Solar System. However, they are not pristine, and surfa…
The Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey I: Spectroscopic Classification and the Redshift Completeness of Local Galaxy Catalogs
U. C. Fremling, A. A. Miller, Y. Sharma +37
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is performing a three-day cadence survey of the visible Northern sky (~3). The transient candidates found in this survey are announced via pu…
ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae I: Properties of the 2018 Sample
Yuhan Yao, Adam A. Miller, S. R. Kulkarni +32
Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain their progenitor properties. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe Ia dis…
The luminous and rapidly evolving SN 2018bcc: Clues toward the origin of Type Ibn SNe from the Zwicky Transient Facility
E. Karamehmetoglu, C. Fransson, J. Sollerman +20
Supernovae (SNe) Type Ibn are rapidly evolving and bright (M ) transients interacting with He-rich circumstellar material (CSM). SN 2018bcc, detected by th…
